Anyone has any idea which 1GB 4870s has voltage regulators that work with this 'hack'? For 1 I know that the Palit Sonic 1GB isn't :P

Hardware acceleration dropping from 1.0
Clock speed is returned to stock/GTX285 default idle
Voltage is returned to stock
Voltage Factory v1.1 working perfectly with 4870x2
With a TX750w psu and a Q6600 @1.36v load the max i can run the card at is 1.3v on both cores. 1.31v results in a reboot. With this voltage max clocks are 810mhz core clock @90%+ fan. I was only able to get 760~ or so on stock cooling (a bum card perhaps).
If you are using stock cooling watch your vrm temps.
With this program/card you must set as below:

Benchmark from FEAR 2 Perseus Mandate:
Stock (750mhz):
http://i43.tinypic.com/2vv9vfq.jpg
Overclock/Volted (810mhz):
http://i42.tinypic.com/2zjgwp3.jpg
Unfortunately, it hasn't increased my max overclock. I am 842 on the core benchable (4870x2) but as soon as I go to 847 or above, I fail test 2 (firefly) of 3dm06 everytime - no matter what voltage.
Any ideas? Or just a bum card?
Almost 100mhz cc over stock is a great card...Quote:

Did that and still defaults it, even in the game's menu. I'm using VoltageFactory, if this has any importance.Quote:

I was wrong, the voltage is again resetting , this time in FEAR 2 also. I give up all this volt modding. I'll put the card on the stock voltage oc ( 815 mhz) and let it be. This mod has some problems, at least on my computer.

i have made batch file and now everything is awesome
There is no one here having any issues with this volt mod, on a 4870 card? It's driving me mad.
Now it seems that the voltage doesn't reset anymore, but after playing some 10-15 minutes I run into severe artifacts, even with a slight 830 mhz on the core. I'm also keeping the voltage bellow 1.34 V. And these artifacts don't go away until I restart my computer. Temperatures are perfect, with the stock fan blowing at 60-70%, I don't see the gpu going past 65 C. ATI tool can run for hours at this setting without any artifacts or crashes, but FEAR 2 it's only staying stable for 10 minutes. I find it hard to believe that my card does 815 mhz on stock voltage and it's unable to hit 830 mhz with 1.3-1.34 V.
65C is somewhat warm, my temps with the stock cooler didnt exceed 53-54C at full load but i do have a very cool case. I recomend you increase your fan speed for better stability. With my 1GB HD 4870 i couldn't even get to 815/945 without upping the stock cooler fan speed to 100%. I also recomend that in addition to ATI Tool you use some other utilities to test for stability like 3DMark06, Furmark and game benchmarks like Crisis and others. Those will help you determine whether the card is game stable. Additionally, keep an eye on your VRM temps, the stock cooler actually did a pretty good job keeping them down in my case but that also could be a problem.Quote:

I would double check the VRM and GPU HS mounts and thermal paste.
I've reinstalled and applied thermal paste a long time ago. I'm sure that it is mounted properly.Quote:

Have you considered aftermarket cooling? I just installed an HR-03 GT and lapped copper ramsinks on my card, it dropped my core temps from 40-43C idle to 29-34C idle and from 52-55C load to 41-43C load. The only downside is that VRMs are now hotter as this cooler doesnt cool them. But i did get an overclock gain without raising voltage to 825/950, previously i was stuck at 815/945 at stock voltage. I'm currently experementing with coolers, next i will install AC Accelero S1 Rev2, that one will cool the VRMs better as i can mount 2 92mm fans on it. So i'm going to see which one will let me overclock further. Another good cooler for this card is the T-Rad but i personally couldn't use it as my ramsinks wont fit under it. I would consider getting either one of these as it seems that you would benefit from better cooling.Quote:

Well, i'm only experimenting with coolers, and the better one will stay permanently. The HR-03 GT is excellent for GPU core cooling but sucks for VRMs. This is why people actively cooled them by pointing (or mounting) a fan on them or with a sidepanel fan when using this cooler. The advantage of the Accelero S1 and the T-Rad is that they cool everything but not as efficent on the GPU core as the HR-03 GT. Since i already have 2 different coolers i will try both and i'll post back here with results for the 4870. BTW, I already have copper sinks on the VRMs and they are still hot (like 76-78C load with HR-03 GT), that Zalman sink will not be as effective since its aluminum.Quote:
Originally Posted by error8

Remember that 4870 cards are not the greatest overclockers and even with an increase in voltage dont achieve very high clocks. As we have seen in this thread there are exceptions to this and some cards do perform very well but thats all they are exceptions. I've read of cards that couldn't even break the 800mhz barrier on stock voltage so the results you have are actually OK.Quote:

My results so far are identical to yours. Unfortunately, the 1GB models are not as good of an overclockers for memory, the 512MB ones fare better. If i dont touch the core at all my memory overclocks all the way to 1020Mhz. But since i wanted a balanced core/memory overclock i started off taking turns upping both by 5Mhz each time, right now i'm at 825/950 @ stock voltage but i dont think the memory will go much higher, may be another5-10Mhz.Quote:

Has anyone had any success raising the voltage on a HD4890? I have a Powercolor 4890 and i cant raise the voltage with any of the methods. My card is reference design. Any input?
Thanks
Nevermind.:yawn2:
Edited the bios and set 1.4v for core voltage and the card is flying. 1000/1100 stable. :clap:
Im trying this mods on a gigabyte gtx 260 without luck. I can get rivatuner to read voltage (1.05V at all time) But when i try to change it with the VT1165 in rivatuner the "more" button is greyed out. When i try to change it with evga's tool nothing happends in rivatuner, the voltage just increases in evga but nothing more happends. No change in oc either. What am i doing wrong?
See if you can increase the voltage in BIOS. If so, you should be able to increase it via software.
The Voltagefactory program is the second easieast method after EVGA`s voltage tuner. Give it a shot if you havent.
doesnt seem to work on my 275...i heard they didnt use volterra power stuff for this and that is the reason as to why this card cant be overclocked like the 260/280.
EDIT: Posted this in the wrong thread :am:
This is the most awesome post ever. I was stuck at around 830 / 925 with my crossfired 4870 1GB cards. I bumped my voltages up to 1.3 from 1.26~ and now I just benched them with 3Mark Vantage at 850 / 925 and scored a hefty P17182 WOOT! :clap: :up: I was waiting for a hack like this to come around. Supprised I didn't come across this sooner as well. :p:

Has any HD4890 users measured REAL Vgpu with DMM?
I used GPUTool to change Vgpu and max I could measure was ~1,465/1,490V (2D/3D). I have Sapphire's card and it clocks pretty well with def cooler: http://ceemic.pri.ee/3d1/hd4890_79646.JPG
high clocks ;)
give us 3d06 and vantage score :D
I´ve tried it out this evening. The results I got was pretty confusing for a start. Just to check things out a bit, I started raising the v-gpu while scanning for artifacts with Ati tool. I´ve read about you guys cards and was expecting a OC around 850 max.
I myself got a XFX 4870 XXX, 775 core 950 mem.
Things went along much better than expected:
Stock 811 Mhz
1,3 v 828 Mhz (with no Artifacts)
1,35 852 Mhz
1,40 869
1,45 886
1,47 900 Mhz (I know, this is a bit much for a 55nm. But hey, 900 Mhz is a must once you starting to get so close)
Happy and amazed with my results, I went on with 3Dmark 06:
1,47 900 Mzh = Total system Crash (expected :cool:)
1,45 886 = Total system Crash (expected :rolleyes:)
1,40 869 = Total system Crash (NOT expected :confused:)
1,35 852 = Worked :shocked: Hurray! Gave me 14156 3dmarks, not so good. With the same cpu I got over 13000 points with my single 3850, clocked at 1002-1063 1.59V
I tried 1,40 v with 859 Mhz = Total Crash. Damn, I started to suspect that ovp could be the problem so I decided to stay under 1,36 v, and started to push the system from there. I Have now passed the 859 that crashed with 1,4v and are at this minute benching at 1,36v 862 Mhz and climbing (hopefully)
What do you guys think. Is it OVP that kills the system at anything over 1,37? Is it really set that low on these cards? Could it be something else?
Btw, I´m at 862 Mhz now, 3dmark-stable. 14254 (benching on my other computer). works like charm, as long as I dont go over? Yes, you guessed right 1,36 v :ROTF:
I´ll be back with more info, gonna start with the memory next, when I find my max core mhz.
Yours // Fng77
My god, I`m gonna get a serious hearing-problem after this..The stockfan on the 4870 is extremly loud at 100% speed :eek:
Okay, some updates on my OC-evening. I Have established my memorys max oc to: 988 Mhz. Everything above that, and 3dmark Crashes. My rig has a:
e2160, clocked at 3510 Mhz and the ram is at 1040 mhz 5-5-5-15. And the GPU at:
Core GDDR Gives 3DMarks
856 Mhz - 950 (stock) 14254
856 - 979 14288
856 - 983 14356
856 - 988 Crash
I Think the core oc is Ok, but I was expecting a little more from the memory. I cant let go of my old 3850, that clocked right up to 1 Ghz!! with around 1,55 v-core (with water), and scored not so much less than this card in 3dmark. I must say that I am very dissapointed with the 4800 series 3dmark 06 performance. Vantage is another story, I know, but anyway: A volt-modded and maxed out top-of-the-line GPU that scores 14365 points?? not so impressive.
The next step now is to get my system up and running at its peak, at 3,6 ghz cpu, tighten the timings a bit on the ram, and close all unessesery apps for a good last run in 3DMark06 and Vantage, before nap-time. Its in the middle of the night here in Sweden right now, just me awake, sitting here Oc:ing, all alone, In the dark. My only friend is a piece of crap-clocking 4870 and a 100 Db fan....
He, he my poor old 2160 needs 1,55v to get "bencheble" on this board. Just needed 1,5v on my Maximus Extreme. The board I´m using now is a m-atx MB, that has a terrible v-droop, Thats why I need to set the v-core that high. 1,55 v becomes 1,5v in windows. And when you push it, the v-core droops down to 1,46 v and thats with a vdrop-mod :). Anyway, this m-atx board is a very impressive in many other ways. Before the Maximus Gene, and the DFI p45 matx boards came out I considerd this to be the best matx for oc:ing on the market (along with the P5E-VM HDMI of course).
Ok, now I´m benching in the background, I see a very good sign already. The framerate in the begining of 3dmark06 went up to 106, before I tuned my pc up it didnt got over 100.
Oh, no...now it died on me..:mad:
Okay, lets give it another try..Some times I get so bored with this Booting, booting and booting. I upped the v-core to 1,575..Do you think my ninja mini can handle that? I´m not so sure myself;), now i´m up and running again, please let my bench at least one time with my cpu at 3,6 ghz!!....Its running now again, The ship lands...the soliders are shooting at each other....a mad robot with a helicopter gun kills everyone...I like the fireflies better....ok....fireflys now..looks good...What the H*ll..
I´m gonna call it for today I think. Just one more try..Back at 3,5 ghz, booting..:rofl: Ok, my computer have gone completly mad, I feel a strong urge to smash it to pieces. I think I will call it for today, before I do something I will regret. Darn Fireflies.
Next Day:
Hello again. Today I have switched out my old cpu against a e5200. And I can say for sure that the e2160 at 3,51 was a real bottleneck on my system. Both are IHS-less so I can push em pretty hard on air alone. I direcly went in to the bios and set my E5200 to 4.0 Ghz, and wow, that alone gave me almost 3000 points extra in 06. Now its starting to look better! I have played around with the settings a bit, Its pretty strange but for a while yesterday I got My4870 stable at 856 Mhz. To day its only good for 849-852.
My Benching today:
E2160 849 - -983 3dmark06 - 14194 Maxed out cpu at 3,51 Ghz.
Switched to:
E5200 849 - - 983 16998 Points!! Cpu at 4,1 Ghz, Pci-e at 110 Mhz
Now I must of course get over 17000, which was not as easy as it sounds. Usally I dont push my 5200 over 4,0 Ghz since I must give it over 1,47 volt for that. Thats a little bit high for a 45nm, but today I Totally maxed it out (on Air) at 4,1 ghz, thats what gave me 16998 points. I have also pushed the Pci-e bus to 110 mhz. I tried some trix but I only got: 16986, 16974 and so on.
I decided to try and push the Pci-e bus some more to get those extra points. Since it is a PCI-e 1.0 on this board I figured I could win some performace here. I Also got my cpu up to 4,12 Ghz, he, he.
That actually did the trick:
Gpu: 849 - 983, Cpu: 4,12 Ghz, Pci-e: 115 Mhz = 17093 3Dmark06 and a respectable 9257 Performance at Vantage
Gpu: 849 - 983, Cpu: 4,12 Ghz, Pci-e: 120 Mhz = 17161 And 9308 vantage
Now I´m starting to like my pc again
Gpu: 849 - 983, Cpu: 4,12 Ghz, Pci-e: 130 Mhz = Boot failure + Lost my SATA harddrive in bios for a while, when I lowered it to 120 it came back, thank god.
One more try, now that I know that the rest of my system is at its peak Oc, I´m gonna give the gpu one more chance:
Gpu: 852 - 983, cpu:4,12, pci-e 120 = 17199 at 06 And 9272
I´m ok with these results and I´m sure this will give me quite a boost at Crysis and Warhead, but still, Why cant my 4870 handle more than 1,36 volts?
I am trying to find out whether the PowerColor PCS+ HD 4870 1gb is compatible with this trick or not. Saw someone with a ''Powercolor 4870 Zerotherm'' not working so my hopes are getting battered here.Quote:

You can undervolt as low as your card is stable. I've gone down to ~0.9v with both my HD4870 and HD4890 cards, but you only save around 1W-2W from the usual low of ~1.08V (on an HD4870). The software voltage controls allows you to avoid messing with the BIOS, and is usually more for overvolting. But the functionality is there too for good undervolting too.
Any solution to run this on Asus (referent) 4850 or the only solution is pencil vmod??
There are two kinds of Powercolor HD4870 PCS+ cards; one with original AMD reference design with 4 Volterra phases and one with 4 conventional phases. Only the Volterra version works with this software voltage mod. The card you linked in your PM is the Volterra version.Quote:

Hello!
I have one question. I have Gigabyte 8800GT and it has voltage controler on it http://hothardware.com/image_popup.a...cleid=1107&t=a is it possible to make any software for it? Gigabyts controler suck and max is 1.2V from 1.15V so if anybody has any ideas if that is max that controler can do or anybody can make better software i would be very happy.
Here is the original software: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/V...ity&FileID=121
I just searched this thread and came up blank, anything for the 4670?
so when it says install/extract to the riva tuner directory, what is it talking about? just the rivatunter folder in program files or a sub folder within that folder? im lost
how about undervolting results? to keep stock clocks cool.
how low can a 4870 get? I'm testing 1.175v with ati tool right now. 1.1v hangs
well I have one 4870 with the standard volterra regulators but my other is the PC PCS with the older regulatrs so no soft voltmods, but I need to no where to extract and install the files, the rivatuner directory is to vague, there are 5 or 6 sub folders and extracting to the main folder does nothing
Just tried overclocking my 4870x2 for the first time (well, beyond the 800mhz ccc limit)
with stock voltage = 830mhz
with 1.3v = 850mhz and probably more
Edited the bios (both of them) with RBE and changed the registers. Now the 3d default clocks are 850mhz with 1.31v (just to make sure) :)
From what I read in this thread, ppl are having difficulties passing 830mhz so I am happy with mine lol
Hey guys,
I've used eVGA Voltage Tuner before, however isn't working for me now.
I'm using GTX 295 with Windows XP SP3 + FW 182.50.
The problem is, everytime I push the bar to any value (eg. 1200mV) and press "Apply", it just goes back to the default value.
Someone knows why?
eVGA Voltage Tuner + Patch
Thanks
Is there not some one there can hack the asus smartdoctor for the HD4770 card to put the support in this tool so you can apply voltage tol all 4 cards instead of only the first card?
Tested now, with 181.22 there is no problem setting any voltage.Quote:

Continuing to increase volltage led me to nothing - benchmark was hanging faster to faster:( My 4870 is cooled with Accelero S1 and Turbo Module upon stock RAM and VRM cooling. Anu suggestions?
hello,
i hope your gpu isn't on the way to die, but there is always written, at your own risk, you should always keep that in mind i think :up:
Guys, any idea if these methods will work on the HD 5870 cards? Are they equipped with Volterra VT11xx regulators?
Does this method still work?
Afterburner is the preferred method these days:

Does anyone still have the EVGA-GVT-patch.rar patch the download site is no longer working.
i need him to..can anyone please re-upload
hmmm, these are are fine, but what if i want to change the memory voltage of my 4890?
I can't find a method apart from GPU-Tool that allows this, but it doesn't allow saving settings at startup, i'm stuck here. Anything out there i can try?
In my opinion software memory voltage change is not working. Controller just don't support voltage change....
You may set it "X" votage, but actually voltage change is zero.(Only way to find it out is to measure it with multimeter)
well, if i run GPU tool "test for stability" and then lower the memory voltage (the one that is named ???) eventually it get pixel issues and it will crash, so it's definitely doing something.
Does anyone know how to softmod the voltages on a Asus 5870 v2 via RBE i cant seem to access the voltage regulator part on the bios with RBE
i dont think its updated for these cards
the voltage regulator chip on these cards is : uP6208_Detection = 1
VDDC_uP6208_Detection = 46h those are the detection routines for MSI afterburner 2.0 beta 6 for asus v2 5870 regulators and hardware monitoring.
The patch link is not working..
Well I'll be. The Mod worked and got my X2 up to 1.35v. Yesterday I pronounced my X2 dead/dying since it started BSOD'ing in 3D games. (first time it showed was SC2). Same type of death as my first original one. Slowly it started locking up, (with or without BSOD), then finally artifact on boot to finally no more booting. 1st RMA lasted about 2 weeks then artifacted and died as well. 2nd RMA is this current one. Performed great up until yesterday then like I said, Lockup and BSOD. Today I found this post and tonight I tried this mod. Go figure at 1.35v she no longer locks up or BSOD's. I bet this is only a temporary fix but for now I'll take it until I can get an RMA request for a 3rd card. Amazing stuff guys. Looking at the Amp Draw like others have posted, the change in amps from 1.26/1.30 - 1.35 is much greater than 1.35-1.40 so even though the voltage is increasing, there is more than likely a limit that we are reaching. My amp usage hit 95A at 1.35 (vs 75-82ish at 1.30) and it did hit 97A at 1.40v but thats the max.
Is it possible to raise vGPU higher than 1.30 on 9800gx2 with any program? I'm using voltage factory and max measured vGPU is 1.30. I can set way higher in program without result :(
Do any of these tools work with current gpus?
:)
